The battle for the thinnest flagship telephone has, apparently, begun.
Late final month, Korea’s ET Information printed a report that Samsung is engaged on a slim smartphone that might launch “a number of months” after the launch of the Galaxy S25 collection, which is prone to occur within the first quarter of 2025.
It seems that the report was correct, as Smartprix (through MacRumors) has found a mysterious new Galaxy S25 mannequin, listed within the GSMA IMEI database below the mannequin quantity SM-S937U. The telephone is listed below the Galaxy title, and there is no point out of it being referred to as “slim,” however there is a good probability that that is a wholly new Galaxy telephone mannequin, developed alongside the already current new Galaxy telephones.
Mashable Gentle Pace
Why would Samsung be engaged on a “slim” variant of its Galaxy flagship? Effectively, rumors say that Apple plans to launch a super-thin and lightweight model of the iPhone, probably below the title iPhone Air or iPhone 17 Air.
The brand new iPhone, which may be a alternative for the iPhone Plus variant, might have a 6.5 to six.6-inch show, and a far thinner profile than some other current iPhone.
As for the “slim” Samsung telephone, we have now no particulars, however can glean some clues from Samsung’s Galaxy Alpha, a 2014 smartphone that was so much thinner than different Galaxy fashions on the time. That system had a really slim physique, strengthened by a metallic body, a smallish 4.7-inch show, and it wasn’t acquired significantly properly. Samsung later included a few of the design parts from the Alpha into the Samsung Galaxy S6, which additionally had a skinny profile and a steel body.
Apple’s iPhone 17 will include an enormous RAM improve, report claims
One factor is for certain: Neither Samsung nor Apple have these days modified their successful formulation a lot with regards to flagship telephones. Maybe it is time to shake issues up a little bit with some super-slim smartphones.
